Umpires Defeat Angels

[isasir]

Heh, Angels get screwed by umps again on that pickoff play....

 

[mwtgg]

This entire series is seriously messed up.

Fvcking umps... why not just hand the Sox the series?

I guess with the Yanks and Red Sox outta it, the 1919 Black Sox scandal is MLB's hope for good WS ratings.

Two extremely poor calls in the game so far.

And here's another run because of the umpires.

D'oh, just heard about that Ump screwup on the doubleplay/catcher interference....

 

cry more

What a bunch of partisan whiners on Fox. All they talk about is every play where the Sox got the benifit of a bad call by the refs. Sox earned their way to where they are, as did the Angels. No apologies necessary.

Can anyone say the Angels have thus far outplayed the Sox? No? Then quit whining that the Sox are up 2-1.

While there have been two missed calls during game 4 that did help the Sox, there was nothing definitive and the ump was entirely within his right in game 2 to do what he did. He didn't scream out because he wasn't sure. Last I checked there was nothing wrong with that as long as he asked the other refs, which he did. Besides, I guess I mssed it when the ump hit that game winning double down the line.

The Angels' manager and coaches aren't griping at it. They know they got no one to point the finger at but themselves. Some of you guys need to learn the same thing.

Exactly. No doubt there have been some bad calls against the Angels this series, but they have nobody to blame but themselves for the way they've played overall. They've been clearly outplayed, with or without the bad calls.

It wouldn't take that long to review a play. Not much longer than when the umpires get in a huddle and try to decide a play now. Deciding what types of plays would be reviewable is more important.

Ding ding ding!

Even the Angels Manager is against instant replay. He knows the Sox are outplaying them.

So I'm wrong then right? The Angels did outplay the Sox statistically and its mostly due to the umps that the Sox are going to be up 3-1 in the series? And the first two mistakes by the umps in this game should of course statistically lead to the 5-6 runs the Angels should have gotten to win this game?

Boy did I miss something.

Er... make that the 7 runs they'll need to win this game.

 

[isasir]

LOL. Ball across the heart of the plate and the ump doesn't call it. Poor Angels.

 

It cost them 2 games.

 

[isasir]

Umpires give a call in favor of the Angels! :Q

Stupid fan tho'.
